Zoiks. She looks rather... beefy in that pic.

“I just did it my way. I’m not a martyr, and I’m not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here,”

What a schmuck.

Hey Bode, why don't you have a drink?

[ClearCase_guy]

I'd like to see a new phrase in the language:

"Ooooohhhh!! He sure pulled a Bode on that one!"

The guy is a synonym for Loser.

I actually saw it on a show that was showing some highlights. I really didnt watch the thing .

Post #25 - Awesome!

For every clown like Bode Miller, the sore loser women's hockey player who refuses to shake hands with the Swedish team or the self-indulgent NHL complainer crying because his wife had to make her own travel arrangments, there were athletes like Joey Cheek (donated his winnings to children in Africa); Sascha Cohen (extraordinarily gracious in getting a silver rather than the desired gold medal); Michelle Kwan (gave up her chance to win a gold medal so another girl could skate) and the vast bulk of the 213 American athletes proud to represent their country and do their best. Aside from "Miller time", I enjoyed these Olymp;ics thoroughly.

I also watched the girl I cant remember her name who decided to hot dog in the middle of a race and fell on her face. No discipline. She had her chance and blew it.

“I just did it my way. I’m not a martyr, and I’m not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here,”

Perhaps he has another meaning for "rock".....

[printhead]

He and Tonya Harding will be selling blood down at the local clinic.

[zeeba neighba]

maybe they'll get married and raise little Bodanyas or Todies

I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here

If, by "rock" you mean "suck."

Say goodbye to Wheaties, Nike, Head, etc. you Loser.

Excellent, excellent editorial.

“Me, it’s been an awesome two weeks,” Miller said. “I got to party and socialize at an Olympic level.”

Bottom line, Bodie sucked. 28 going on 14 and absolutely clueless.

[Kimmers]

Like your post... dang, you are good at that

Judging by your tag line you have done a far better job of raising your offspring than Bodes' parents did...you have so much to be proud of...thank you Army Mom/Wife

[Khurkris]

There it is. I've had the priveledge of watching 2 Olympic hopefuls work their heart & soul out in their bids for qualifications - both made their teams - and know the dedication it requires. To see this punk have this opportunity and just p*ss it away is sickening.

Bode's the Brian Bosworth of skiing.

[cubreporter]

He went out but...he didn't rock. He didn't do anything.
